Hi there.  I, too, have fsgs which was discovered 6 months after my only child was born.  I was hospitalized with pre-eclampsia for 6 weeks; at the time, we didn't know about the fsgs. 

What kind of dialysis do you do?  My goodness...dialysis AND 4 kids!  AND a grandpunkin!  What a full life!

So glad you've joined us.
